Business/IT working relationships have been troubled since the dawn of the information age. Poor working relationships have a high cost to the organization in many ways. As the interdependencies of business and technology grow, the cost of failed relationships also increases. It is essential that business/IT working relationships undergo fundamental and systemic change if the value of business intelligence is to be fully realized.
